When will you finally be ready?

I had an interesting conversation the other day…

I was talking with my best friend about a mutual friend of ours that is finally branching out with his own consulting business after years of running a consulting business for someone else…

As we were talking about this, my best friend said, “Do you think he’s ready?”

I thought about it for a second and this is what I said…

“I don’t think he’ll be ready until he’s doing it…”

We both laughed because it’s so true…

Think about it…

When are you ready? And I mean REALLY ready?

I’ll tell you when…

When you are doing it…

Don’t get me wrong…

You can (and must) prepare…

You can practice and get all of your ducks in a row (whatever that means)…

But you will finally be ready in the exact moment that you are doing it!

Here’s an example…

An athlete can train, hit practice hard and work all of their drills…

But when are they ready for the game?

During the game!

Here’s the deal…

So many people get stuck in the ‘Getting Ready’ phase and they never move onto the ready phase…

Be honest with me here…

What is it you are ‘getting ready for’ and have been ‘getting ready for’ for longer than a month?

Here are most of the things I hear that people are getting ready to be ready for…

• Losing weight
• Getting into shape
• Starting their own business
• Finding their passion
• Starting to design the life of their dreams
• Getting in the game
• Connecting with their kids
• Connecting with their spouse

and the list goes on and on and on…

So what is it for you?

It’s time to get in the game and START going big…

Enough getting ready!

Can’t wait for your comments on this one!

Go Big!

Who are you listening to?

When it comes to your life and your goals and desires…

Let me ask you 1 question…

Who are you listening to?

This is one of the biggest challenges today…

• There are a whole bunch of people in your life who are more than ready and willing to give you advice on what you can and especially what you CAN’T or SHOULDN’T do…
• There are countless people standing by, ready to protect you or steer you toward what is smart and sensible and realistic…

So often these people listen to your ideas and tell you they won’t work, or they aren’t smart…

And when they do, it’s easy to get discouraged and abandon your ideas…

It’s easy to get deflated and look for a more sensible or realistic approach that doesn’t get you excited, but at least ypu’ve heard it makes sense…

Here’s my big question for you…

When it comes to the people who you are listening to…

Do they have what you want?

I’m all for advice and mentors and perspective…

BUT

Please, please, please…

Get that advice from people who are where you want to go…

• If you want advice on how to start making $10, 000 a month through passive income, should you listen to someone who has only ever made $3500/month and traded time for every single dollar of it?
• If you want your relationship to be healthy, communicative and passionate, are you going to listen to your friend who is in a loveless marriage?
• If you want to get into the best shape of your life, are you going to go to someone who has never exercised a day in their life for advice on how to do it?

When I ask my coaching clients these questions they always see how ridiculous it is to get advice from someone who doesn’t have what you want…

AND YET…

Most have them have been doing just that…

Most people have a group of advisers that they love and who love them, but when it comes to deciding if your ideas and dreams can happen…

When it comes to discovering the path to design the life you desire…

Make sure you are listening to people who know from experience what it takes to get there!

Listen…

Your friends and family are so important to love you and add to your life…

And if you your friends and family do have the things that you desire, then PLEASE listen to them!

But often your advisers serve a different purpose…

Start finding people who have what you want (at least the next level from where you are)…

Your life will start to change instantly when you do!

As always, leave a comment here…I love hearing from you and what you have to say might be helpful to someone else!

Go Big!

Delusions or Expectations?

If you are here reading this then there is a good chance that you are different than the people who are willing to live a “Normal” life…

Chances are good you want your life to be extraordinary AND you feel that the great and amazing things you imagine for yourself can actually happen.

You are on a different path…

And good for you!

BUT this is what I know…

You probably struggle to find other people who understand that path…

When you talk about your plans and ideas and goals most people will dismiss them as delusions of grandeur…

THEY ARE WRONG!

What most people call ‘Delusions of Grandeur’, I call –

EXPECTATIONS OF GREATNESS!

Celebrate your expectations of greatness!

Celebrate your willingness to take a different road…

A road that is only travelled by a few.

It is a hard road to travel down at times…

It can feel very lonely…

But that’s what this blog is here for…

From now on, whenver someone in your world questions your expectations of greatness and calls them delusions of grandeur, come here…

Leave a comment on any post CLAIMING YOUR GREATNESS –

Say it loud!

Claim it here…

We are on the same path and when you have doubt…

We will celebrate your greatness!

Leave a comment now and share your expectations of greatness for your life!

You are brave and I applaud you…

You are EXTRAORDINARY!

Go Big!

Success in 15 minutes a day — will you commit to yourself?

Experiment time!

There are 39 days left in 2009…

I thought an experiment to see how far you can move forward while still enjoying the holiday season was appropriate!

First let me ask you this question…

If I told you that you could significantly move your life forward between now and January 1, 2010 and it would only take 15 minutes a day…

Would you commit to dedicating 15 minutes a day EVERY DAY for the next 39 days?

I’m going to assume you answered ‘Yes’!

So this is what we are going to do…

Starting today and going through Dec. 31, 2009 I want you to do 1 thing each day to move yourself forward…

Here are the rules:

• You MUST do 1 thing each day
• The ‘Thing’ you do MUST take 15 minutes or less to do…
• The ‘Thing’ you do MUST push your comfort zone
• The ‘Thing’ you do MUST make you feel like you have somehow moved yourself forward toward one of your goals

Got it?

It is up to you if you are going to focus on one area of your life to move forward for the next 39 days or if you are going to focus in several directions…

Either way, you WILL see a huge difference IF you absolutely commit to do this AND you follow through.

To help you out, I want you to leave a comment now stating that you are taking part in the challenge and what your focus is.  I also want you to tell me what it is you will do today.

This is another case of you are either in or you aren’t…

I know it’s tough love…but if you are just going to try to commit 15 minutes a day, you aren’t going to get where you want to go…

15 minutes…to move toward the life of your dreams…

• I KNOW you can do this…
• Commit to it now…
• Leave a comment…
• Tell me you’re in…
• Tell me your focus…
• Tell me what you will do today!

Have fun with this!!

YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY!

Go Big!

If you become frightened…

I was watching the most recent episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and the conversation that happened in one scene made me leap from my chair to write down this quote so I would remember to post about it.

Here’s the quote:

“If you become frightened, instead become inspired…there’s always a way.”

WOW!

Seriously, knocked my socks off!

Think about this…

Normally we become scared when we feel we may be trapped or or unable to succeed…

This is with everything:

• Money
• Relationships
• Business
• Creativity
• Dreams
• Goals
• Health
• Weight Loss

etc. etc. etc.

We’ve all heard it a million times, where there is faith there is no room for doubt and where there is doubt, there is no room for faith.

Faith and doubt CANNOT exist at the same time in the same space about the same thing…

Doubt stops us in our tracks…

• Fear makes even the strongest souls question if they can move forward…
• Faith moves our feet forward 1 step at a time…
• Inspiration gives us a glimpse of the path…

You will feel fear!

You will feel doubt!

You will want to turn back!

You will think you can’t go any further!

You will think there is no possible solution!

I know you will do all of these things because you are human…

I’m not asking you to get rid of your fears…

I am telling you that in the face of fear and doubt you can rise above them for a moment to stop and say this to yourself…

“There is always a way, even when I don’t believe there is — I now choose to be inspired to discover that way and follow that inspiration.”

You don’t need to know the answer…

You just need to know there IS an answer…

There is ALWAYS an answer!

So I say this to you my friend…

In this tumultuous time when it is far easier to believe there isn’t a way…

“If you become frightened, instead become inspired…there is ALWAYS a way.”

Leave me a comment and let me know if you are ready to choose to be inspired in the face of fear!

Do it now…

You are extraordinary!!

Go Big!
